Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Could you try restarting Cursor and reporting back to us?

For me too, the terminal keeps getting stuck and does nothing. It freezes.

Could you post your “Menu → about cursor → copy” platform and version info?

Terminal isn’t work for me as well, any command just hangs there forever. Running on WSL2. No amount of restarts change the behavior.

I then restarted wsl (wsl –shutdown) and then the terminal didn’t hang, but it also immediatelly returns without actually running the command, it just “pretends” it did.

It seems like very rudimentary commands even can cause terminals to hang or get stuck. Been sitting at this one for almost 5 minutes (was chatting with a coworker)…its just stuck:

This also seems to be becoming a more and more frequent issue. When I first switched to 1.6, I maybe encountered it once a day. Its many times a day, closing in on once an hour almost, now… (Don’t even know how to account for that.)
